Tanned Dork [16:06]

Hey. I'm coming over again at about 8, okay?

Sehun stared at the message he just had received.

He was sitting on his bed, the part of his whole apartment which had used to be clean, was now covered with empty chips bags. A lazy Friday consisting of playing some video games, being frustrated, going into the kitchen and snacking loads of unhealthy stuff.

But since Jongin had left him all alone in the Cafe yesterday, Sehun felt betrayed and completely lost. He only had left his room for grabbing new snacks or to pee.

It was so stupid. For one day, Jongin was not with him and Sehun acted like the world would end. How childish. He needs some other friends too. You are such a diva. You even yelled at Chanyeol.

His greasy hands caused his phone to be slippery which lead to dropping it into the gap between wall and bed. He was too lazy to pick it up, so he just left the messy bed to finally shower for the first time since three days.

In the evening, Jongin really came over. But that wasn't much of a surprise. He always had been loyal.

For a moment, Sehun forgot how to speak when he saw the usual happy smile of his best friend.

“Hey.” he greeted him then.

“Uhm, Hey!” Jongin smirked, putting his hands into his pockets.

Sehun's thoughts were running like crazy. Is he alright? His voice is so weird.

He just entered the flat since a conversation wasn't really existing. Sehun asked himself why it suddenly seemed like they were strangers.

“The couch is free, and I just bought some fried chicken we could heat up...” Sehun quietly explained while closing the front door and following Jongin. The tanned one turned around with a neutral expression on his face.

“Today I'm not going to sleep over. I just coming to take my stuff.” Jongin said, making Sehun's jaw drop.

“But, you always stay here.” Sehun exhaled, maybe a little too sad. His reaction was a surprise to Jongin.

“Yeah. We are best friends and stuff. Sehun, doesn't that seem childish to you. Like... We are grown up and I need to learn to live on my own life. I've been a bother ever since we graduated.” while talking, Jongin collected his clothes and searched for a plastic bag.

“My parents bought me an apartment and it's completely empty and unused since nine month. Such a waste.”

Why does he care about the ing apartment all of the sudden?

Sehun stared at him in silence.

“But we still dance together, don't we?” he then asked, making Jongin grin. But the grin did not look convincing to Sehun. It didn't reach his eyes.

“Of course.” he assured then.

Silence took over again and Jongin just left with a quick “bye”. Leaving Sehun on his own again.

And I cleaned the couch for him? And I ran to KFC through rain for him? And I showered? What the is wrong with me?

Bruh, I thought we were buddies.

[…]

“He isn't picking up.” Chanyeol laid the phone down and looked at Baekhyun, who was sitting on a chair and drawing some random things.

“Maybe he fell asleep. Or he went dancing again.” Baekhyun suggested without looking up but Chanyeol shook his head.

“I don't think so. Damn, this boy is driving me crazy. Maybe I should check his flat? Maybe he has fainted or something has happened?”

Baekhyun groaned and shook his head.

[…]

“H-Hey, Jongin.”

The called one stopped sipping on his milk-shake and looked up. The big eyed boy, Kyungsoo, was standing next to his table, a bag in his hands. Jongin's smile grew unintentionally big when he saw the other male. Kyungsoo, who was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with white prints on it, shortly indicated something like a bow and quickly sat down in front of the tanned boy, who was watching him extensively again.

“Hello.” he greeted. Kyungsoo didn't really look at him, but focused at the table between them instead.

“What would you like to drink? Or would you like cake? Ice cream? Possibilities are endless.” Jongin grinned, nervously playing with the plastic cup.

“I-I don't need anything, really. I already annoyed you enough.” Kyungsoo quickly said.

“But you have already washed my shirt, which really wasn't necessary!” Jongin tried to convince the other.

Kyungsoo seemed to think for a while. “Then, you chose for me. Something small.” he then mumbled, tapping a finger at his chin – Jongin found that gesture so damn cute.

“Okay. I'll just surprise you.”

Since it was Friday evening, the little shop was overfilled and it took almost twenty minutes to get the order.

But when he came back to the table, both hands claimed, he was glad to find him still sitting there and waiting, totally patient.

With a sincere smile he handed one cornet to Kyungsoo who looked at him with an undefinable gaze.

“Two scoops of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.” he simply explained and sat down.

“And the same for me.” he grinned and began to the chocolate sauce of his own ice.

“How did you know?” Kyungsoo suddenly asked, still not eating his ice.

Jongin raised an eyebrow in a questioning way.

“What?”

Kyungsoo intensively looked into Jongin's eyes.

“Vanilla is my favorite flavor.” he whispered in disbelief.

“Really? Mine too.” Jongin felt that an awkward silence was coming up, so he just talked on.

“I haven't seen you around here so I guess, you are new here?”

Kyungsoo had started consuming the chocolate sauce. He his lips before answering, Jongin felt weird seeing that. Damn.

“Yeah. I used to live Daejeon, but my medical university will in two month here, in Seoul. So the easiest way was to move here, to my best friend.” Kyungsoo answered and kept on eating.

Jongin nodded.

“Mmh, what about you? Do you live here?” Kyungsoo questioned back. 

“Yeah I live here in Seoul, I even have a flat my parents bought me. I kinda lived at my friend's house. But now I feel bad and don't to bother him any longer.”

Kyungsoo nodded as well.

“Baekhyun already knows you. And you are a friend of his boyfriend, Chanyeol, right?”

Jongin didn't answer immediately. He had to think of Kyungsoo, talking about him and asking for more information. He wondered if Kyungsoo liked him.

“Yes. Chanyeol, Sehun and I know. We were known as the catatrophe-trio.” he laughed.

Cracking noises were audible, Kyungsoo and Jongin had reached the waffle already.

“I do not usually get the opportunity to talk to Baekhyun, we are not really that close to each other, but when I met him, he would always tell some funny stories the two of you have experienced together. So I guess you kinda are besties?”

Jongin was glad that the awkward atmosphere was gone and they could just talk comfortably.

This feels too much like a... date. Oh my god, no Jongin.

“Yeah, I know him since kindergarten.”

Jongin noticed how Kyungsoo's lips formed a heart when he smiled, which kinda made him happy to watch and smile as well.

“Would you like to eat some cake?” Jongin then asked while pressing a clean tissue against his mouth to remove any ice or chocolate marks.

Kyungsoo wildly shook his head.

“No!” he literally screamed, causing a few other customers to stare at them.

“I mean... no. I don't feel well and feel full and I don't want to cause any more problems.” Kyungsoo denied nervously.

Jongin didn't contradict or say anything else, he just felt like someone had just cut open his had, turned it sidewards and let his brain fall out. His mind simply felt empty, in an oddly satisfying way.

They both stood up. 

“Yeah, I don't want to take your time any longer. I should just give you your shirt and leave you in peace...” Kyungsoo mumbled, the bag in his hand making rustling noises while being clenched.

“Do you have time right now?” Jongin spoke without thinking, once again.

The other winced and looked at him with wide eyes. 

“Y-Yes.”

Jongin chewed his inner cheek.

“Would you like to walk around with me? It's so re-freshening to make a new acquaintance.”

It makes me happy to talk to you, he added in his mind.

“Uhm, sure... I-I guess.”

They walked down the calm street, they were in the not-so-busy quarter of Seoul, much to their liking.

“I missed calm moments like these.” Kyungsoo said, the bag still not given to its right owner.

Jongin didn't want to take it yet, because somehow it seemed like a goodbye for him, and he didn't want to leave Kyungsoo yet. It felt too positive to be around him.

“The sky is look so beautiful, so...” Kyungsoo started and stopped walking, staring at the wonderful pastel colors blending together to a huge artwork.

“Mesmerizing?” Jongin finished, hands in his jacket's pockets, standing right beside the big eyed boy.

“Yeah.” Kyungsoo's expression completely softened.

“Like you.”

Jongin almost wanted to cover his mouth for saying that loud, but he actually didn't really regret it.

Kyungsoo's head immediately turned to him, meeting Jongin's intense stare.

“What?” he breathed.

Jongin stepped a little closer.

“I mean it. You are beautiful.” he whispered, their faces so close that Kyungsoo could feel the warm breath of the other caressing his cheeks.

Without really realizing it, they moved even closer. Jongin couldn't help but stare at Kyungsoo's perfectly shaped lips and Kyungsoo lost himself in the numbing scent of the other.

Then their lips met for the first time. It was a short, shy and innocent touch, and Kyungsoo's eyes glided shut. But then, Jongin grabbed his face and crashed his lips mercilessly onto the others, inhaling the taste and feeling of all the softness. Kyungsoo instantly responded, put his arms around Jongin's waist and their mouth moved against each other in a calm rhythm.

After a long period of time, both ran out of breath and they had to interrupt their kiss. They just looked into each other's dark eyes, gasping for air and not daring to break the moment's magic.
